Exeter Times, 1908-07-30, Page 2THE PRINCE OF WALES Tho Prince's reply to Sir Wilfrid Laurier's address of welcome to Quebec on behalf of the Canadian people :— "I am greatly touched by the loyal and sympathetic words of the address with which you, in the name of the people of Canada, we!eom i we on this occasion of my sixth vt;:t, *co the Dominion. I am fully tete- We of the honor and respensthtlity of my position as the represen at VC of our Sovereign, who, ever mind - t.1.1 of the unswerving loyalty of his Canadian subjects, follows with af- fectionate interest everything which concerns the welfare and develop- ment of the Dumiuion. My privilege is, therefore, twofold, for I join with you, both as the representative g4f the King and on my own behalf, in celebrating the three hundredth Ist:uiversary of the founding of your famous city by Samuel de Cham- plain. I look forward with keen in- terest to the impressive ceremonies of the next few days, during which the past and present will appear be - for us upon a stage of unsurpassed atural beauty. And here in Quebec I recall with much pleasure the no uncertain proofs which I have $eceived on my several visits to 19anada of the loyalty of the Kim's French-Canadian subjects. Their Proved fidelity in times of difficulty and danger, happily long past, is one of the greatest tributes to the political genius of England's rulo, and the knowledge that they and their fellow -Canadians of British origin are working hand in hand in the upbuilding of the Dominion is a source of deep satisfaction to the King, as well as to all those who take part in British institutions. I cordially agree with you in the pro- priety of setting apart as a memorial for the present and future genera- tions the battle ground of the Plains of Abraham, hallowed by the asso- ciations of past years, and I heartily congratulate all concerned in this noble undertaking upon the success which has attended their patriotic efforts. "I much regret that my present visit cannot bo extended beyond Quebec, and also that the Princess of Wales was unable to accompany me on this occasion. We both retain the happiest recollections of our stay in Canada seven years ago, and of the k.nd and affectionate welcome we experienced during that most in- teresting and enjoyable visit. "I shall not fail to convey to my dear father, the King, who takes the deepest interest in this celebration, the gratifying expressions of your loyalty and attachment to his throne and person, of which his Majesty is well assured. "One( more I thank you from my heart for your kindly greeting." PAGEANTS DAllLE THE EYE Too Much of 'them to Take on at Once ---Gorgeous- ly Planned ---Superbly Executed.

Munk Who Picked Wil telco II. to End Hls Dynasty. Five years more and the German Empire will oome to an end. So at least says a prophecy made in the thirteenth century by a monk named Hermann, who lived in the monas- tery of Lehnin in Brandenburg, where he wrote a work in Latin con- cerning the future destiny of Ger- many fur many centuries. The work is styled the "Vatic` -niton Lehnin- ense,"and it is in vorsca after the manner of the Sybilline books. The monk seems to have foretold the defeat at Jena and the constitu- tion of the Germanic Confederation in 1815. Unfortunately the pro- phetic Hermann foretells in plain language the downfall of the Hohen- zollern dynasty, and William II. is destined to be the last of his race to sit in the imperial throne. The verses that foretell this are: "Verse 93. Tandem sceptra gerit qui stemmatis ultimus erit : "Verse 94. Israel infandum see- tus audot morte piandum." [At last the sceptre is in the hands of him who will be the last of the royal race. Israel attempts an execrable crime that death alone can expiate. In 1840 William I., King of Prus- sia, consulted a celebrated soothsay- er, who in answer to his queries told him that ho would ascend the throne in 1849, that the German Empire would be established in 1871, that he would die in 1888, and that tho Ger- man Empire would come to an end in 1913. The first three prophecies have been fulfilled to the very letter. g. FILLING UP THE WEST. Fifty 'Thousand Families in Fifteen Years. A despatch from Ottawa says:— According to statistics compiled by the Census and Statistics Bureau, 50,324 families took up a correspond- ing number of farms in the three Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche- wan and Alberta during the past fifteen years. They increased the population of the ('anadian West by 205,774 persons. From the United States there came 19,344 families, with 70,703 persons ; from the Brit- ish Islands 10,797, with 31,395 per- sons; from Austria-Hungary 10,650, with 52,639 persons; from Russia 5,018, with 24,591 persons ; from Scandinavia 3, 830, with 11,968 per- sons; from Germany and Holland 1,986, with 7,734 persons; from France and Belgium 1,131, with 4,487 persons ; and from other countries 568, with 2,25.1 persons. CROPS ARE FLOt'RISIIING. C.P.R. Reports All Indicate Bounti- ful Harvest. A despatch from Winnipeg says: Reports on the condition of the growing grain of the western Pro- vinces were received at t -ho office of the General Manager of the O.F.R. on Wednesday morning. A sum- mary of tho reports indicates that the general rains of last week, ex- tending over tho entire grain dis- trict, have been of groat benefit to the (tops. There are a few points in Manitoba and southern Alberta call- ing for more rain, but, generally speaking, all have received a fair supply of moisture. Hail is report- ed at a few points, but the damage is slight, and confined to small areas. Grain dealers interviewed on the ex- change on \Vedne".day morning said that they expected the nutting of the crop to begin about tho second week of August, which is some time earli- er than last year.
